Yesterday was the first day of spring and what better way to celebrate than wearing sequins to the grocery store, getting lots of funny looks from midwesterners in their sweats, and then spending the evening barbecuing in the driveway (classy, I know). This is also my triumphant return to the internet after a long weekend of celebrating and staying far, far away from my laptop, so I'm planning lots of good stuff on the blog this week, including a great giveaway and a fun swap. And maybe even more spring sequins, sweatpants be damned.

Very cute skirt. I just love wearing sequins in the daytime - I also live somewhere where it's not quite "normal" and I get all kinds of stares and comments. It's fun to challenge people's ideas of what clothing is appropriate for different situations. :)

I have a funny sweatpants related story. I grew up and went to college in the midwest, so I know all about the wearing sweats everywhere thing. Many years later, I pretty much never leave the house without being "dressed." The other day, I was doing laundry, wearing comfy around-the-house sweatpants and my KU hoodie in honor of the tournament. :) Anyway, ended up getting locked out of my apartment when I went down to change my laundry - no keys, no phone, no money other than a couple extra quarters. I had to walk down to a local hip barber shop to use the phone on a Saturday evening in my sweats! I've gotten so used to never wearing sweats out of the house lately that it felt SO WEIRD to be out in my grubby doing-laundry clothes, especially on a Sat evening. Kind of funny. :)

Anyway, sorry for the long post, but you made me think of this story, so I just had to share! :)

I have no idea how I missed this post this morning?! I love the skirt. I know what you mean about weird looks. Southwest PA is pretty much the same way. People think I'm crazy for wearing anything other than jeans, let alone sequins.

well loose teeth, you're right about one thing...i don't like hearing it, but only because i don't give a rat's tail about looking as thin as possible at all times. but thanks for your unsolicited advice :)

The comment above mine is well said! As for the veggie burgers... let me know when you try them. They are drool worthy. And...I have come across more and more people that eschew burgers but eat white meat. I'm glad you do what's right for you!
